conclusions behaviors are actually adopted and sustained by patients are so far from that recommended by health professionals. this gap could be reduced by identifying behavioral change challenges, rooted in the beliefs of the individual and the family. therefore, culturally-based interventions to enhance disease self-management should be considered. results three sources of behavioral change c...

conclusions supervised in-hospital exercise training was associated with improvements in saecg-measured electrical activity post-mi. results cardiac rehabilitation led to significant improvements in qrs duration (p < 0.001), square root of amplitude in the last 40 ms (p < 0.001) and duration of terminal signal with low amplitude (p < 0.001). cardiac rehabilitation also resulted in amelioration ...

Forest types mapping, is one of the most necessary elements in the forest management and silviculture treatments. Traditional methods such as field surveys are almost time-consuming and cost-intensive. Improvements in remote sensing data sources and classification –estimation methods are preparing new opportunities for obtaining more accurate forest biophysical attributes maps. This research co...

estimation and mapping of forest resources are preconditions for management, planning and research. in this study, we applied kriging interpolation of geostatistics for estimation and mapping of forest stock at-tributes in a natural, uneven-aged, unmanaged forest in the caspian region of northern iran. the site of the study has an area of 516 ha and an elevation that ranges from 1100 to 1450 m ...

the effects of traffic frequency and skid trail slope on dry bulk density, litter mass and rutting are examined. treatments included a combination of four different traffic frequencies (3, 7, 14, and 20 passes of a rubber skidder) and three levels of slope ( 20%.) the results showed that dry bulk density, rut depth and soil displacement increased with the increase of traffic frequency and slope...
